1932 Aston Martin L2-223

2002 Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races

Aug 1, 2002

This rare 1495cc four-cylinder Aston sports unique two-seat bodywork designed specifically for competition, and it was raced extensively at Silverstone, Goodwood, the Nürburgring, and at Le Mans. The car was restored between 1995 and 1998 and now produces between 85 and 90 horsepower thanks to somewhat freer breathing. After running in the 2:00 p.m. race, this car was cleaned up for display at Pebble Beach the next day where it won an award. Impressive!
